Qingyun blames clearly, but in fact secretly helps.

The embarrassment on Gu Mingchuan's face receded by two points, and he smiled gratefully at Qingyun.

He was grateful to him, but he touched the ash of his nose here in Qingyun.

Qingyun glanced at him fiercely, pretending to be amorous, she said that, she didn't want to help the Dingguo Mansion, but she was just not used to seeing the eldest lady laughing at fifty steps and a hundred steps.

And she followed the words of the eldest lady, she said that what the eldest lady said was right, the eldest lady is angry, and she has to hold back.

Gu Mingchuan became more and more embarrassed.

It's just that Mrs. Fang Cai's words made him embarrassed on his face.

Qingyun's white eyes, he was embarrassed in his heart, and his scalp was cold.

In the room, the silence was a little scary.

The old lady sat there, fiddling with the Buddhist beads in her hand for a long time, and her heart felt as if she had knocked over a five-flavor bottle.

At this time, a maid came in and whispered a few words in the ear of the eldest lady.

A smile flickered at the corner of the eldest lady's mouth.

She stood up and said to the old lady, "Old lady, something has happened in the big kitchen, I'll go and see." ”

The old lady nodded.

The eldest lady smiled and said to the eldest lady of the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion, "Sister-in-law will sit for a while, and I will come when I go." ”

The eldest lady of the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion smiled and said, "You go and get busy, I'll talk with the old lady for a while." ”

Watching the eldest lady leave, Zhou Ziting had a smile on the corner of her mouth.

She looked at the old lady and said with a smile, "Grandmother, this time, the Bofu can restore the Marquis of Fù, the Zhennan Marquis Mansion and the Jiang family have contributed the most, but the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion is not without help." ”

The old lady raised her eyebrows slightly, she really didn't remember what the Zhongyi Hou Mansion had helped the Hou Mansion.

Zhou Ziting smiled and said, "Grandmother, you forgot jì, Xuanwangfu sent an invitation, inviting everyone in Kyoto to participate in the peach blossom banquet, my aunt was worried that the Hou Mansion would not receive it, so she went to the Zhongyi Mansion for help early in the morning, and the Zhongyi Mansion was generous, didn't you promise to take your fifth cousin?" ”

Zhou Ziting said. The eldest lady of the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion frowned.

When did she agree to take Qingrou to the peach blossom banquet?

As soon as her eyes rolled, she knew what was going on, it must have been said by the eldest lady.

The peach blossom banquet on the left and right has passed, and he moved his mouth. There is no need to lose anything, it can also make the face of the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion look better, and if there is something to ask for in the future, it is not easy for the Marquis of Anding to refuse.

The eldest lady of the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion smiled and said, "A little favor." It's nothing. ”

Zhou Ziting shook her head, "This is not a small favor, the Bofu can restore the Marquis of Fù, it is because the third cousin won the leader at the Peach Blossom Banquet and won the emperor's promise, otherwise the Zhennan Marquis Mansion wants to help the Marquis Mansion, and there is no way to start, and the Bofu really doesn't know when the Marquis will be restored, and besides, the black market outside the Peach Blossom Banquet invitation can be sold at a high price." There is also a priceless market, and more importantly, the Zhongyi Hou Mansion has only received one invitation this year, and there are three girls in the Zhongyi Hou Mansion, all of which are not enough, and a place is given to the fifth cousin, which is not small. ”

Zhou Ziting's voice was soft, and her eyes were tinged with a touch of charm and envy.

It's just that in the depths of his eyes, he is watching a lively laugh.

Peach Blossom Feast. This breath has been blocked in her heart for a few days, if she doesn't get out of this bad breath, she won't know how to eat. It's hard to sleep.

In particular, Qingyun made meritorious contributions at the peach blossom banquet, and helped the Marquis of Bofu recover after several turnovers.

With Qingyun, she can win the top spot in the Peach Blossom Banquet, if she participates in the Peach Blossom Banquet, what else will she do?

Qingyun has the courage to ask the emperor to restore the marquis of the Bofu. There is Zhennanhou behind her to support her.

If she wins first, the Marquis of Zhennan will definitely support her and help the Marquis of Bofu to restore the fù, in that case, she will be a great hero to the Bofu.

My grandmother will love her more than now, and she is filial, and her reputation will inevitably spread far and wide.

She had a dowry left by her mother, and her grandmother would prepare another one for her.

When the time comes, she will definitely be able to get married!

Of course, this was what she expected, but it wasn't impossible.

No matter how bad it is, with her talent and appearance, the idea of attracting a few young masters of the family is always possible, right?

Just because of the eldest lady, for the sake of face, she deceived her grandmother and gave her hope to participate in the peach blossom banquet.

In the end, it was an empty joy.

That kind of loss, that kind of disappointment, how can words describe it?

She has always wanted to find an opportunity to complain to the old lady, but in the past few days, the old lady has been absent-minded, and she has remembered the matter of the Marquis of Bofu Hui in her heart, plus Mu Qingrou is disfigured again, so she has no such thoughts.

Otherwise, the old lady punished Mu Qingrou for kneeling in the ancestral hall, and the big kitchen gave her chicken legs, guiding her to be frightened and disfigured, this matter, the old lady might tolerate her?

It's just that the Bofu is at a critical time, and the old lady is afraid of punishing the eldest lady at this juncture, which will make the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion angry and stop helping the Bofu.

After all, sometimes, when the emperor is angry, someone helps persuade him, and the anger is smooth.

It's a pity that the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion has never helped.

At that time, she sued, and she couldn't please at all.

She had been looking for an opportunity, and her eyes flashed just after hearing Qingyun's words.

Isn't that an excellent opportunity to file a lawsuit?

can't even be called a complaint, she's helping the Marquis of Zhongyi to take credit.

In this way, Zhou Ziting lightly sued the eldest lady.

She looked like the Hou Mansion should accept the love of the Hou Mansion, but the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion of Zhong Yi was red-faced, and she only felt that the stool under her buttocks was very piercing.

The old lady's face also turned cold.

She also thought that the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion had received two invitations like last year, and the three girls were divided, just one more place for Qingrou.

She never expected that the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion would only receive an invitation.

The girls in his house are not enough, and it is his turn to get a cousin?

When did the Marquis of Zhongyi Mansion be so generous?

Mu Qingrou smiled and said, "At that time, the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion didn't know that it only received one invitation, thinking that it received two as in previous years, and it happened to take me there, fortunately, the Xuanwang Mansion sent an invitation to the third sister, otherwise I would be embarrassed to occupy my cousin's place." ”

Mu Qingrou tried her best to get her words back, but in the ears of the old lady, it was not what she thought.

The Marquis of Zhongyi was willing to take Mu Qingrou there, and that was because there was just one more place.

Later, there was only one invitation, and people didn't hesitate to ask for the quota again?

Coincidentally this year, Xuanwangfu sent an invitation to Qingyun, what if there was none?

Will the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion return to the quota, really take Mu Qingrou there?

Thinking about it, the corners of the old lady's mouth overflowed with a sneer.

Seeing that the old lady was sneering, Zhou Ziting also smiled.

She lived in the Hou Mansion for three years. She saw with her own eyes how the eldest lady took over the power of the Hou Mansion.

The Hou Mansion was demoted, and the maternal grandmother wanted to restore the Marquis of the Uncle's Mansion and needed the help of the courtiers to say good things in front of the emperor.

If the Marquis of Zhongyi Mansion can help, she will give power to the eldest lady.

She's a cousin. has no blood relationship with the eldest lady, and she knows that the eldest lady is dissatisfied with her.

It's just that the old lady is in the way, and she doesn't dare to say anything about her.

Rather than letting the eldest lady be in charge of the inner courtyard, she hoped that the Hou Mansion would be in charge of the old lady.

The eldest lady is in charge. Of course, her henchmen acted according to the face of the eldest lady, and if they ate well and wore well, they naturally Mu Qingrou had a share.

If it is the old lady who is in charge of the house, then those subordinates in the house will act according to the old lady's face, the old lady dotes on her, and the subordinates will naturally stutter on the pole, she doesn't say that it is better than Mu Qingrou, at least it will not be worse than her.

was demoted from the Bofu, and she was looking forward to restoring the Marquis and the old lady to take charge of the Marquis Mansion.

Right now. I finally got my wish.

Zhou Ziting's mood is as beautiful as the first sunny day after the rain, sunny and pure, without a trace of impurities.

The coldness on the old lady's face receded, and she replaced it with a gentle smile, and said slowly, "In the past two years, the Hou Mansion has been degraded, begging people everywhere, and owing a lot of favors. In the future, I will have to pay it back, I know in my heart. ”

The eldest lady of the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion looked embarrassed and said with a smile, "Officialdom." That's it, I owe you today, tomorrow may be what you owe me, the marriage between the families, isn't it just asking for help, one party is in trouble. Everyone can help, try to help, no one can guarantee that there will be no time to ask for help in the future. ”

"This time, my Zhongyi Marquis Mansion really didn't help much, but my Zhongyi Marquis Mansion didn't mean not to help, the marriage between the two mansions, the stability of the Marquis Mansion is good, my Zhongyi Marquis Mansion will be better, but this time, it's too unexpected, my Zhongyi Marquis Mansion is unaware, if you rashly plead, it will be a disadvantage if you can't keep it, whoever wants to wait and see, the Marquis Mansion will be restored."

Speaking, she paused and said with a smile, "In the past few days, the streets and alleys of Kyoto have been talking about the three girls in the house, saying that she is bold and filial, and the Hou Mansion teaches her daughters in a good way, and even other girls are appreciated. ”

Qingyun listened, and a few smiles overflowed from the corners of her mouth.

The eldest lady of the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion is really eight-faced, with a lotus tongue.

The old lady said that she knew it in her heart, although she didn't say it explicitly, but it was obvious that she meant to come and go.

When the Hou Mansion was in difficulty, the Zhongyi Hou Mansion did not help, and in the future, the Zhongyi Hou Mansion was in difficulty, and the Hou Mansion could do its duty, as for standing up, it was not even a matter of even thinking about it.

The eldest lady of the Hou Mansion of Zhongyi understood, she was afraid, after all, she was in the officialdom, and it was difficult to guarantee that something would not happen one day, and she would need the help of the Hou Mansion at that time.

She also knew that she was at a loss, but she asked the Hou Mansion for help, and there was a good reason.

It's not that the Marquis of Zhongyi doesn't help, it's just waiting and seeing, looking for a suitable opportunity to help.

This is simply hindsight.

The Hou Mansion was degraded because of the Jiang family, and the Zhongyi Hou Mansion is the same as the Jiang family, they are all in-laws.

Hou Ye helped the Jiang family, but ignored the loyal and righteous Hou Mansion, how to be the four words of heavy love and righteousness?

If the Zhongyi Hou Mansion really needs the help of the Hou Mansion, the Hou Mansion has no room to refuse.

This can be regarded as persecuting the Hou Mansion.

The old lady smiled, "Hou Ye is affectionate and righteous, but he is too reckless to do things, if he is the same as the Zhongyi Hou Mansion, wait and see first, and then make plans, my Hou Mansion will not be degraded, and when the Hou Ye comes back, I will let him learn more from the Zhongyi Hou what is the way of being an official." ”

This time, Qingyun couldn't help shaking her shoulders and covered her mouth and smiled.

She felt that the old lady was a bad person.

Since they are all in-laws, they have helped the Jiang family, and they really can't help the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion.

But the Hou Mansion can also wait and see, maybe, wait and see, and the matter of the Zhongyi Hou Mansion has also been resolved.

This time, the eldest lady of the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion had nothing to say.

Just sipped the tea lightly, so that the topic ended.

Outside, the eldest lady stepped in, her face tinged with anger.

The old lady frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The eldest lady said, "Mother Xu was sloppy and lost the key to the warehouse, the big kitchen was in a hurry to get the ingredients and was ready to go back to the door for dinner, and the daughter-in-law saw that the time was urgent, so she asked people to pry the key open, who would have thought that the door of the warehouse was broken." ”
